Hi, i'm running cyrus-imapd 2.2.12 on a fedora (on a open-xchange) and I had a server failure for a disk full a few days ago. I have 6 mailboxes running on this server, and 2 of them (the bigger and more frequently used) went lightly corrupted after that. The other 4 are running well. The all open-xchange was running well from almost two years now. All the mailboxes are receiving and sending mail, but the problem on 2 of them is that it's no more possible to flag a message as seen. Every time the mail interface refresh (with every imap client I know) all the messages are flagged as unseen. The logs of one of the mailboxes under lib/imap/log says * OK (seen state failure) Unable to preserve \Seen state: System I/O error I've tryed several times to stop imap and do a reconstruct, but no way. reconstruct -m (found in a FAQ) doesn't work as the answer is reconstructing mailboxes.db currently not supported I couldn't find this error on the cyrus site. Any ideas?
Figure out whose seen file is corrupted and delete it. Cyrus will automatically recreate it. It is also possible to fix a corrupted seen file (more or less) using a python script called skiplist.py. You can find it with a google search or a search of the list archives.
